Walk of Shame....continued....

Man! We cannot seem to catch a break with our neighbors. First, we believe the "staring neighbors" (mentioned in Walk of Shame part 1) have moved out. There has been new activity over the past week in their home, and it looks as if new people have moved in. Sad....we will never reconcile that event and will always be "those weird neighbors that got stuck in front of their mailbox...twice". Well, in an attempt to forget the past and move on, we decided to walk over to another neighbor's house, 2 doors down from us. All we know about her so far is that she has 2 very big dogs. I had been baking cookies for Kyle's work treats, so we decided to pull out a few good cookies, put them on a cute plate, and walk them over to her house on our way by (we were going to take a walk anyways and enjoy the nice weather.) We knew she was home because we had seen her with another woman and dog in the back yard about 20 minutes earlier. So, off we go on our merry way! We get up to the door and notice that she has the same doormat--so fun! We ring the doorbell, and hear the dogs--eager anticipation of new neighborhood relationships flood my mind....and then....she comes to the door laughing kind of awkwardly.
"Hi! We're your neighbors from 2 doors down".
"um (chuckle)....I'm just a friend...from far away(laughing)....in Chaska...."
"Oh! Well nice to meet you. We just brought over some cookies for her".
Enter--NEIGHBOR WOMAN IN TOWEL!!! WHAT?!?!?
She starts talking to us from the top of the stairs (still DRIPPING wet and IN HER TOWEL), and her friend just keeps standing in front of us laughing very loudly and awkwardly, the 3 dogs barking at us like crazy. Oh dear! We got her name, shoved the cookies into her friend's hands, and went on our way. Seriously?!?! Not sure how this neighbor relationship is going to continue. But alas, we will not be discouraged. I wonder what interesting neighbors we will meet next.....perhaps the little boy that I caught staring at us through our BACK BASEMENT WINDOW! I'll keep you posted. :)
